Director Masahiro Sugano will be in attendance for a post-show Q and A.
From the website: Cambodian Son documents the life of deported poet, Kosal Khiev after receiving the most important performance invitation of his career—to represent the Kingdom of Cambodia at the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad. Kosal would travel to London having only taken two flights prior; first, as a 1-year-old refugee child whose family fled Cambodia and, then as a 32-year-old criminal "alien" forcibly returned to Cambodia in 2011. The film follows a volatile yet charming and talented young man who struggles to find his footing amongst a new freedom that was granted only through his deportation. Kosal's London representation is a triumphant moment for many people in his life, both in America and Cambodia. The film traces the impact and significance of this moment for Kosal, his friends, family, mentors and a growing international fan base. Armed only with memorized verses, he must face the challenges of being a deportee while navigating his new fame as Phnom Penh's premiere poet. After the performances end and the London stage becomes a faint memory, Kosal is once again left alone to answer the central question in his life: "How do you survive when you belong nowhere?
I was able to exchange some emails with Anida Yoeu Ali of Studio Revolt about the film, in anticipation of the premier here in Minnesota on April 15.
1) What drew you to Kosal Khiev and this project?
Masahiro (director) and I were introduced to Kosal by a mutual friend, another Khmer Exiled American (KEA) I knew in the US. Our mutual friend raved about Kosal's poetry and said that we should really meet him, especially since I was also a spoken word artist once upon a time in Asian America. (Masa's personal telling about his first encounter with Kosal is very touching, so feel free to read it here:
Then one night Masa comes home and tells me that he just heard Kosal's life story in one sitting. He was moved by the whole experience and he said this guy has something special and that I should really take the time to hear him kick a poem. Being the jaded old school spoken word artist that I was, I didn't really believe Masa but then I remembered that Masa doesn't usually rave about spoken word poetry so Kosal must have moved him deeply. On another night, Kosal came to visit us and in the middle of my living room I asked if he would kick a poem. That poem was "Moments In Between the Nights" and it grabbed my guts and shook me teary eyed. Since that moment sometime in July 2011, our paths have intertwined into both a journey and collaboration.
We believe Kosal represents something bigger than himself – ideas around compassion, the transformational power of art, and justice.
2) As it is National Poetry Month, what is it about poetry and spoken word that makes it a useful vessel for such a heavy subject?
Spoken word woven with musicality, theatricality and the raw energy and charisma of Kosal offers an element of entertainment that enables a mainstream audience typically unsympathetic to the deportation of convicted felons to have a new guide into the issue.
Kosal has a voice and it's powerful and inspirational. We truly believe that his story and poetry should be heard on an international scale. We believe he has the power to unite and open up minds and hearts. He became a reformed man inside the US prison system as a result of arts programming. This means that reform is possible and art can be transformative. Kosal is living proof. We don't need more punitive forms of justice but rather options that are restorative and transformative.
3) What is the goal of this film?
Our goal is to reach millions with this film. Laws can only be changed if we can change the culture which created the policies. We want people to humanize the issue of deportation through Kosal's story. We want people to experience his story in order to tap into compassion and a sense of justice. Kosal's story is complicated and has everything to do with history, geo-politics, war, circumstances, and failed systems which created him, then destroyed his life, and now rebirthing him once again.
4) Where can readers learn more about deportation?
Please read the "issues" section of our press kit and/or our movie's website for this information:
Like much of the Asian American community, I was stunned and saddened to my core a couple of weeks ago to hear about the terrible murder of Sikh people in Oak Creek, Wisconsin. Adding to the tragedy, there seems to be little empathy or coverage of this terrible event in the mainstream American press and consciousness. What little there has been in the mainstream press has been problematic.
Shortly after the incident, I received an email from Preeti Kaur with a poem about the hate crime. I was floored by it. I asked Preeti to write an artist's statement and her thoughts for this blog. Her response follows, with a link to her full poem at the end.
On August 5, 2012, while morning services were starting at the Sikh Gurdwara in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, a gunman barged into the place of worship with assault weapons. For over two hours, he terrorized the worshipers -- an innocent crowd consisting of faith scholars, elderly, women, and children. He ultimately shot six dead, seriously wounded three others including a police lieutenant, and ended his terror by fatally shooting himself to death. Posthumous investigations indicated the killer, Wade Michael Page, was a decades-long out-spoken member of white supremacist groups and bands.
As an American and a practicing Sikh, I was deeply aggrieved that this could happen in one of our places of worship. In times of grief, poetry can give us the space to connect our personal grief with external grief. Letters Home is a collection of poems which seek to connect the tragedy in Oak Creek with the larger narrative of violence in the name of a deep-seeded racial hatred in this country.
The Oak Creek shooting calls us to seek the guidance of Bhagat Singh Thind, a Sikh from Punjab, India, who fought for the United States in World War I, but was denied American citizenship because of xenophobic laws during his era.
The Oak Creek killings rekindle our American remorse for the heinous murder of Balbir Singh Sodhi, the first person killed in a hate crime after 9/11, for being an immigrant practicing his faith by visibly emphasizing his difference in wearing a turban. Practicing Sikh men, and some women, wear a turban to cover their long, unshorn hair, which they maintain as a commitment to acceptance, and to being a distinguishable beacon of sanctuary in times of danger. Yet in America, this difference exhibited by practicing Sikhs, especially in the post-9/11 years, has meant being subject to bullying in schools, being subject to racial epithets or violence in society, to the most extreme punishment: death.
Oak Creek calls on the Sikh community itself, again spotlighted in a time of tragedy, to respond with the dictates of our teachings: compassion, resilience, and a lived strength, especially in a time of loss.
Oak Creek re-awakens our historical amnesia and reminds us of the Bellingham Riots of 1907, where the Asiatic Exclusion League, a xenophobic organization of the time, violently ejected over 400 Sikh lumbermen from a Washington lumber-town.
Oak Creek brings alive Vincent Chin, a Chinese American who was killed in Detroit in 1982 in a hate crime which has been historically labeled a case of mistaken identity. One cannot help suggesting, in this era of extreme Islamophobia played out on the national policy and media theaters, that perhaps Sikhs, who might look like a version of the so-called 'enemy' to people with crude knowledge of the world, were 'mistaken' for an alternative target-- a Muslim target. No one deserves brutality for being stereotyped as an enemy, no matter what their faith. No one deserves a political climate which justifies racist collective punishment. In the last two weeks alone our nation has seen eight attacks against places of worship, most of them Muslim places of worship. America needs to address the political climates which give vigor to hate-based violence within our borders.
Oak Creek also calls us to question collective punishment and supremacist ideologies around the world, from the 1984 pogroms against the Sikhs in Delhi, India, to the recent March 2012 massacre of villagers in Panjwai, Afghanistan.
Finally, Oak Creek should evoke a dirge of grief from all Americans. The symbolism of white supremacist violence against a place of worship inhabited by people of color is something our country witnessed in the 1963 bombing of a Black church in Birmingham, Alabama during the Civil Rights movement. We have moved mountains since then, yet mountains remain.
President Obama still has not visited the families of the Oak Creek victims, as he has done in other recent mass-shootings in our nation, leaving many to wonder why a tragedy against a minority racialized community does not deserve the dignity of a President's gesture of shared national grief. What happened in Oak Creek is an American tragedy. I grieve for America.
Excerpt of poem Letters Home:
please forward to the 50 states/ the white house/ all territories/ the flagged patch on the moon
the gurdwara door is open
our bare feet like cracked glass
our covered heads bulletproof from ego
we turn our backs on bellingham
build our gurdwaras from post traumatic cinder
of bombed birmingham black church
nina simone sings tera bhaana meetha laage*
to tune of mississippi goddamn
gunpowder lines noses of children
left behind wailing mummy papa we will never forget you
'the love that forgives' a lullaby
which sears obedient
into a bittering lemon
i stand half mast, america
i grieve for my future son, america
i grieve for all nights, america
i grieve for all nights
*A Sikh prayer invoking acceptance of sacrifice. Literally, it means "May I experience Your will as sweet to me."

Preeti Kaur attended Gurdwara at the local Sikh center in Minneapolis for years as a student. She currently lives in California. Her poetry can be found at Qarrtsiluni Literary Magazine, The Loft's ¿ Nation of Immigrants? spoken word CD, the South Asian Magazine for Action and Reflection, and The Sikh Review.
On June 19, 1982, Vincent Chin was at his bachelor party at Fancy Pants, a strip club in suburban
At the time, anti-Japanese sentiment was high. Many blamed the decline of the
After the altercation, Chin and his friends parted ways, but Ebens and Nitz weren't done. They went looking for Chin, reportedly paying a friend $20 to help look for him. They found him at a McDonalds, dragged him outside, and one of them held Chin down while the other brutally beat him with a baseball bat. Four days later, Chin died – five days before his wedding.
Both Ebens and Nitz got three years' probation, a $3,000 fine, and $780 in court costs. To this day, neither of them have spent a day in jail.
I will repeat that: Ebens and Nitz sought out an unarmed man, held him down, and beat him to death in front of witnesses, and to this day they haven't spent a single day in jail.
How does one make sense of that. In a few days, it will be the 30 year anniversary of his murder, and still, thinking about Vincent Chin is like ripping open an old, raw wound. Even after years of struggling for change, of witnessing terrible injustice after injustice, of trying to educate yourself about institutional racism, how do you make sense of this.
How do you reason with people who *still* don't think racism exists.
Sure, there have been many much less visible incidents of horrific racist violence against Asians before Chin. And unfortunately, many after him. That just makes it worse. It is a reminder to all of us, that our lives simply aren't worth as much as a white person's.
The race of the perpetrator is important, absolutely. But so is the race of the victim. Statistics show that in the
But still, even armed with this disappointing knowledge: no jail time served for the brutal murder of an Asian American man.
I'm not even a vindictive person. Punishing Ebens and Nitz won't bring Chin back. Nor will it even the scales for all of the people of color who have suffered from the racism in our legal and penal system.
You can talk about how this all started at a strip club, and how we should be critical of all men and their patronage of such places. Just as long as you ask yourself, do all men regardless of their race fear death by baseball bat by going to a strip club. Is that a reason to murder anyone.
The fact that he was Chinese American and had nothing to do with the auto industry – it still would have been horrible if he had been Japanese and worked for Honda.
And still – Fong Lee was killed in 2006, in a case that is highly suspect, by a police officer with a history of violence both while on duty and at home in his personal life – he was given a Medal of Valor for shooting and killing Lee, a teenager.
Lili Wang was murdered in 2002 by her classmate, Richard Anderson, who had stated he had a "preference" for Asian women. Richard shot and killed Lili, a married woman, after he was allegedly frustrated that she had turned down his advances.
In 1992, 10 years after the murder of Vincent Chin, 16 year-old High School student Yoshi Hattori was looking for a Halloween party with his friend. They knocked on the door of 30 year old Rodney Peairs and his family. No one answered so they began to walk away. Bonnie Peairs, Rodney's wife, looked out her window, spotted "an Oriental person," and called out to her husband, "Honey, get your gun." Rodney Peairs shot Yoshi Hattori point blank in the chest, killing him. His defense was that Yoshi, a Japanese exchange student, had an "extremely unusual manner of moving", one which any reasonable person would find "scary".
Peairs has also never spent time in jail for the murder of Yoshi Hattori.
There are also the countless Arab, Muslim, and South Asians who have been harassed, beaten, and murdered, both prior to 9/11 and afterwards, including 78-year-old Gurmej Atwal and 67-year-old Surinder Singh, gunned down and killed while on an afternoon walk in Sacramento.
It's not just us Asians. 25 year old Mexican immigrant Luis Ramirez was brutally beaten and killed by two white teenagers – who were acquitted of all serious charges and face 7 to 23 month sentences. Trayvon Martin, a teenager, was killed by George Zimmerman – it was a long time before Zimmerman saw the inside of a jail cell.
Justice is not even on our side when we act in self defense. CeCe McDonald, a local transgender African American, defended herself when she and her friends were verbally and physically assaulted outside Schooner's in
I'm not saying that I like the prison-industrial complex of this country. However, I do believe it is worthwhile to look at the inequalities. Koua Fong Lee was driving a car that malfunctioned, and another family was killed in the accident. He did not flee the scene – and his own family was in his car – and yet no one believed him when he insisted it was an accident. His own family was in his car – why would he endanger their lives as well? He spent three years in jail before the
Contrast that to Amy Senser, who killed Anousone Phanthavong in a hit-and-run, knocking him nearly 50 feet, fled the scene, and did not turn herself in until days later, after she had consulted her lawyers. She was not jailed during the trial, and though she is convicted of two counts of vehicular homicide, and though there was expert testimony that Phanthavong was flung onto her car and there was no way she could not have known she hit a person, the jury inexplicably sent her a note saying they believed her.
Who you believe says a lot about you.
And the list goes on. John T. Williams. Oscar Grant. Chonburi Xiong. Michael Cho. Cau Thi Bich Tran. Tycel Nelson. And these are just the more well-known names. How many more dozens, or hundreds, of nameless brown people are killed twice: once by murder, and again by a racist judicial system.
30 years later, and we can't forget Vincent Chin. And we shouldn't.
There is no way for me to make sense of this case. I try to write intelligently about it, and all I have is unbridled, bottomless anger. I feel provoked, to my core. That one of my earliest memories is that kids were calling me chink and I had to ask my dad what it meant. To have a lifetime of micro-aggressions and not-so-micro aggressions directed at you, stacked on top of people telling you your experience and insisting that racism doesn't exist towards your people, and to top it all off, that people can murder you in the street in front of McDonalds and get a slap on the wrist for it. And though Vincent Chin's tragic murder is relatively invisible, it's horrifying to think his case is actually one of the more visible, known cases of anti-Asian violence. I feel that there is no room for love, or reason, in a world like this. I feel tired, and defeated. Stupid and useless.
Of course, if there is any bright side at all to this, it is that the memory of Chin and the blatant injustice has galvanized many Asian Americans to activism. I asked some respected Asian American activists and community workers to talk about this case for my blog.
I asked them two questions: What do you remember about the first time you heard about Vincent Chin? Why do you think this case is still important, 30 years later? Their answers follow. I thank them for their time, and energy.
I do not remember how or where i first heard about Vincent Chin, the white men who murdered him, and the justice system that supported them to walk free -but it wasn't until my college years. I do remember feeling awful that so many years of my life had passed before his story made its way to me. This was something i should have learned in elementary school and discussed throughout my adolescence along with Emmett Till's case.
This case will be forever important and forever relevant. Here I offer questions. What is acceptable for this country to mourn and permissible to bury? What is convenient about the collective unconsciousness surrounding Vincent Chin's case? Asian Americans are still seen as perpetual foreigners, another axis in how People of Color are racialized. How have devastating instances of brutality and injustice upon Asian Americans been confined? How even our struggles are "outsiders within"? How in celebrating our strength and power we are welcomed?

The gruesome Chin murder forced us to ask deeper questions and seek more complicated answers. It is elementary to answer the question "Who Killed Vincent Chin;" Ron Ebens and Mike Nitz killed him. But a more complicated answer is white
In the wake of the terrorist attacks of September 11, have we failed to ask the deeper and broader questions that the Chin murder case taught us to ask? Where was the massive public outrage over the 1,400+ Arab, Arab Americans, Middle Easterners and other "non-whites" being detained without regard to their civil rights? How critical have we been to the steady flow of legislation being passed in the name of "homeland security" that violates our basic civil rights?

Pan-Asian Voices for Equity,
A few hours after they accuse you of playing the race card for merely mentioning the word race, the powers that be execute a Black man, Troy Davis, though there seems to be ample room for doubt that he was the one who committed the crime. Nevermind, for the time being, your opinions on the death penalty and the criminal justice system as a whole.
Instead, if they want to talk about facts, let's examine some facts:
In 1982, two white men, Ronald Ebens and Michael Nitz, murdered Vincent Chin with a baseball bat in a racially motivated hate crime. They blamed "japs" like Vincent Chin for the declining American auto industry, though Chin was Chinese American and had nothing to do with the auto industry. This act was witnessed by two off-duty police officers. Ebens and Nitz, to this day, have not spent a single night in jail for Vincent Chin's murder.
In 2006, Officer Jason Andersen, an officer with a troubled record, shot and killed Hmong teenager Fong Lee. Officer Andersen claims Lee had a gun. There has been inconsistencies regarding the case, including lack of forensic evidence linking Lee to a gun reported on the scene, video footage analyzed by a video expert stating Lee did not have a gun. Officer Andersen was acquitted of use of excessive force.
In 2009, Oscar Grant was executed point blank by Officer Johannes Mehserle, while he was prostrate. He was unarmed. The murder of Oscar Grant was witnessed by dozens and caught on cell phone cameras. Officer Mehserle was sentenced to two years minus time served.
A few hours ago, Troy Davis was executed for allegedly murdering an off-duty police officer. 7 of 9 key witnesses against him disputed or recanted all or parts of their testimony. Some asserted that they had been coerced by police. The murder weapon was never recovered.
My people, we know that they accuse us of playing the race card because they always stack the deck in their favor.
If you look at this logic, it's clear who is really playing the race card. Our unfortunate history, and our struggle, tell us this.
But this is not about them. They get to voice their opinion all the time. Their comfortable hate already takes up too much room. They are the only ones responsible for their hearts, their souls. Let this space not be about them, but something else. Dare I say – let this small space, and any small space that you may have, dear friend, be a space for us. Take a breath.
Like you, I don't quite know what to do, or feel. It's a sad night, in a history thick with sad nights. Forgive me, all I have is this, my thoughts and my writing. And this little space. But it's yours.
I was 17 when I got hit by a car. I don't recall seeing my life flash in front of my eyes. I did see the world spin.
I had borrowed my older brother's mountain bike to go riding with a friend of mine by the Mississippi, and then dropped by Cedarfest to hang out with friends and see some of them play in bands. I was riding the bike home when the car came out of nowhere on
I seem to remember grunting in surprise, and the world tumbling, lopsided and fast, in every which way. Then a thump as I landed in the street. Then the squeal of tires, and a crunch, which I would later realize was the sound of the car running over my brother's mountain bike as the driver took off.
On the asphalt, I remember being dazed and feeling strangely fine – wondering what just happened. There was some bewildered curse words in there too, which I won't print in this family friendly paper. A Native American woman was the first to find me, reassuring me that someone had called an ambulance, that I was young and handsome and that I'd be fine. What a strange thing to say, I thought to myself.
On the ambulance ride, I was sad that my brother's bike was ruined by the driver. Then the adrenaline wore off and the pain set in. And there was my father cursing me on the hospital bed for being careless and my uncle urging him to take it easy, my militant sister wondering if I was hit on purpose and if it was racially motivated.
All in all, not a fun experience.
Let's not make a big deal out of it, but the difference in a couple of seconds, a couple of feet one way or another, and that could have been the end of it all for me.
For being struck by a car in a hit and run I was relatively lucky. Small fracture in my collarbone, muscles bruised to the bone, some scars that are still faint on me to this day. But no serious permanent injury, and I had health coverage through my dad's work – and I was introduced to the dubious modern miracle called doctor prescribed pain medication. To top it off, my brother was pretty cool about his mountain bike getting run over.
The driver was never caught, though I doubt anyone looked too hard for him or her.
I remember being pretty angry at whoever hit me, then took off. I remember feeling guilty that I made my mom cry and my parents take off from work to see me.
Now that I'm older, I drive carefully, because over the years I've also thought to myself how terrible it would be to hit someone with a car. What a terrible thing to live with – that you are responsible for tons of metal and rubber, this symbol of modern times and years upon years of science and engineering and progress, propelling it towards something as fragile as another living being. That something many of us take for granted everyday could mean grievous harm, and even death, to another.
A friend of mine sent me the article about the tragic death of Anousone "Ped" Phanthavong, in a hit and run. Days later, it was revealed that the True Thai cook was killed by someone driving a vehicle owned by former Minnesota Viking, restaurant mogul, and sports broadcaster Joe Senser.
Recently Anna Prasomphol Fieser, co-owner of True Thai, recently wrote an impassioned and frustrated blog posting about the case, which you'll find here:
(thanks to Leslie Ball for originally posting this a while back)
I'm glad that the Star Tribune did the right thing and eventually published Anna's blog. I don't have much to add – I think Mrs. Fieser's blog entry is an important alternative perspective and has a lot of insight.
As a community member, I'll be watching this case with great interest. Here, in this specific blog entry, I am not going to write about any theories or inconsistencies. Nor debate the legal aspects, of which I am not knowledgeable enough to contribute to a reasonable discussion. What I am very interested in, is how this case plays out.
Race and class may have nothing to do with the unfortunate tragedy of a man, successfully turning his life around, only to be killed in a tragic accident close to the place where he worked, the killer for whatever reason speeding off into the night dragging his body to paint an exclamation point in red on the asphalt. Race and class probably have nothing to do with the tragedy itself.
We have yet to see if race and class have anything to do with public perception, media coverage, and how this case plays out in the judicial system. Unfortunately, not every case gets the same treatment. All these things are impacted by race, class, gender, in ways obvious to some and not-so-obvious to others. Those who know, know. You don't need me to explain a thing. We can hope for better, but not expect it.
Above all else, I hope the family members of the late "Ped" Phanthavong can find some peace, and some justice, if that is possible, in however and whatever shape it takes for them.

Coach Says Beasley Should Go
Big news here. K-State Coach Frank Martin says he expects Mike Beasley to turn pro. Ya think? Though you've got to give him credit. At least he doesn't talk about how it might be wise to stay in school another year, blah blah blah. In just a few months, Beasley will earn more than many folks make in a few decades.

i loved your poem! ^^ its as simple as that =] great details, good imagery ^^ like i said i love it without a doub
The pointless ranting of a heart that
is sad and pathetic , these are the thoughts
of somone who thinks the world is against them
they find no solace in the knowledge that it dosnt
really matter.
A nice cool breeze under a withering dead
tree , blood soaked grass and colourful
lies are there reward for all the darkness they
try to make others see , how sad there world is
when they are ignored.
No one loves me , the world hates me and
is sick of me , all the words tell the story of
someone who is lost in there own world why can things
be more simple? , there body aches and there hands full
of pain there milk all the pain they can get for sympathy.
Broken and alone is there life story , never caring for
how they affect those around them ,it seems to be to much for
them to hold back the pain and offer a smile because of how
there used to having people feel sorry for them.
All the sadness and horror and fantasy they live borderlines
insanity from which they will never escape , they say the empty
can rattles the most they have 2 cans to be twice as annoying ,
why cant they see how sad and lonely they are always looking
for a handout emotionally.
Never knowing , never resting , always troubled they will
never see the real world because of there ideal world full of
pain and discontentment they live in how sad and alone they are
and happy they are when you feel sorry for them.
__________________________________________________ _____
this poem is about how some people live off the feelings of
others when they have none for themselves , and no matter
how mad or mean you seem to be to them so they can get a life
they seem to thrive on anything you give them , by saying stuff
like the world is against me and hates me etc.
people need to realise that it isn't the world that's against them
or hating them its there inner self thats making things hard for
them and until they stop All the crying and sadness they put
everyone through they will always be that sad insignificant
person that thrives on how others feel which is sad.
personally i think people become like that through
years of never having that one person there to be for them
but i dont think they have a right to make others feel bad
pver bad things like for example using an ilness or a broken heart
tp gain sympathy and false happiness.
any comments or sugestions are welcomed
I'll be the one to protect you from your enemies and all your demons
I'll be the one to protect you from a will to survive and a voice of reason
I'll be the one to protect you from your enemies and your choices son
They're one in the same, I must isolate you...
Isolate and save you from yourself
i loved your poem! ^^ its as simple as that =] great details, good imagery ^^ like i said i love it without a doub
I'm the best you'll ever have because i am that f*ing AMA-zing chic who can stand on her own d*n feet and becasue of you I am the Greatest Thank you so much SasuraiHell and Gwen

Jeffrey Adam "Jeff" Gutt (born May 2, 1976) is a musician and vocalist originating from the Metro Detroit area.
Gutt has appeared in two seasons of the American reality television series The X Factor. He first appeared in Season 2 (2012) when he drew international acclaim for his heartfelt rendition of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah," before being eliminated in the following "Boot Camp" episode. Gutt competed in Season 3 (2013) of The X Factor USA, finishing in second place. In 2014, Gutt was dubbed as one of the most 'influential' X Factor USA contestants of all-time by FoxWeekly.[1]
Early life[edit]
Gutt's family resided in St. Clair County, located in southeast Michigan, throughout most of his childhood years. He attended schools in both Algonac and Marine City, graduating from Marine City High School in 1994.
Gutt's prominent band during his high school years was Innerfaith. He was the frontman of Innerfaith, which he formed with friends Matt Brooks on bass, Jeff Sankuer on drums, and guitarist Patrick Sankuer. Innerfaith wrote and performed original songs, ultimately winning the "Blue Water Area Battle of the Bands" in Marysville, Michigan.
In 2012 two early extended plays featuring Gutt on vocals were made downloadable for free through his official site: a 3-track 1992-1995 compilation (named Nautical Star by fans for its cover) and a 4-track Dragonfly (1997). The latter was recorded by Gutt with the band of the same name which featured Steve Mazur of Our Lady Peace on guitar.[2] Lyrics from the Dragonfly song "Sugarpill" were later used for a Dry Cell song "New Revolution".
In Dry Cell[edit]
Gutt became the lead vocalist for Dry Cell by joining the rock band Beyond Control with the already current members Danny Hartwell, Judd Gruenbaum, and Brandon Brown. After performing with them until 2004 and after the band released a studio album titled Disconnected in 2002,[3] he left the band briefly with Dave Wasierski replacing him as lead vocalist. Gutt rejoined Dry Cell in 2005.
The band went on a brief hiatus from 2005 to 2007, but in 2008 reunited with same members. In 2009 Gutt left Dry Cell for good.[4]
In early 2010 a compilation The Dry Cell Collection was released.[5] It contains previously released demos from 2003, 2005 and 2008, b-sides from Disconnected and one previously unreleased song, "So Alive". The band had no news on their MySpace page since 2010. In 2012, it was said on Gutt's official website that Dry Cell is now defunct.
In Acrylic, Band With No Name and Punch[edit]
After parting ways with Dry Cell in 2004, Gutt recorded 8 demo songs with a band named Acrylic.[6]
In 2005 (when Dry Cell went on hiatus) Gutt and his friend, guitarist Gary Pittel formed Band With No Name (abbreviated as BWNN).[7] The band also included Aaron Hutchinson (drums), Justin "Antic" Hackman (keyboards), Mike Guy and later Ben Lula (bass). In 2007 BWNN released a 5-track self-titled EP.[8] In 2008 they won 89X & TNTs Battle Of The Bands in Michigan and received $10,000 and studio time to record a new EP.[9] 7 new songs were recorded and a full-length album named Humanity was released in 2009.[10] In 2013 it was re-released under Gutt's name on iTunes and included the song "Stay", which was previously known as the album's B-side.[11]
Gutt, Pittel and Hutchinson also perform live as a cover band, Punch.[12]
Gutt also appears on Solystic's songs Carry On,[13] Open Letter[14] and Almost Dead.[15]
In one of the interviews Gutt states that once he was "really close to becoming a new singer for Alice in Chains..."[16]
The X Factor[edit]
Season 2[edit]
In 2012, Gutt auditioned for the second season of the American singing competition series The X Factor. In an episode broadcast on September 20, 2012, Gutt sang "Hallelujah", a cover of Leonard Cohen getting unanimous four "yes"es from the judges Simon Cowell, Britney Spears, Demi Lovato and L.A. Reid.[17] But he couldn't make it past the "bootcamp" stage and was eliminated before the live shows. Several weeks later, Cowell stated to Access Hollywood that one regret he had was sending Gutt home early.[18]
On March 29, 2013, Gutt released a music video for his debut solo single "Hallelujah" through vimeo.[19] Gutt's bandmates from BWNN are also shown in the video. On April 28, 2013, the single was released on iTunes.[20]
Gutt's performances included:
Show | Theme | Song | Original artist | Order | Result |
Audition | Free choice | "Hallelujah" | Leonard Cohen | N/A | Through to bootcamp |
Bootcamp 1 | Solo performance | Not aired | Through to bootcamp 2 | ||
Bootcamp 2 | Group performance | Through to bootcamp 3 | |||

Season 3[edit]
In 2013, he returned once again with the third season of the competition. He auditioned with the song "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" from Aerosmith. After the judges objected, he was offered a second song, "Creep" from Radiohead.[21] Based on that performance, he was put in the Final 40, and one of ten finalists in the "Over 25" category mentored by Kelly Rowland.
In the newly introduced "four-chair challenge", Gutt sang "Amazing Grace" and was selected as a Final 16 candidate and one of four in the "Over 25" category.[22]
Ultimately, Gutt was the runner-up for The X Factor Season 3, finishing second place to Alex & Sierra in a razor-thin margin of votes from American viewers.[23]

Post X Factor career[edit]
On January 26, 2014 Gutt revealed two members of his future band: BWNN/Punch bandmate Gary Pittel (guitar) and ex-Dry Cell bandmate Brandon Brown (drums).[24][25] One day later two more band members were announced: Cyamak Ashtiani on guitar and KC Jenkins on bass.[26][27]
On April 27, 2014, Gutt gave an interview to the Detroit Don't Panic radio during which three new songs recorded by him and the new band were premiered: "Bittersweet", "Shadows in Light" and "Your Name".
On May 3, 2014, Gutt and the new band played the debut show at the Masonic Temple in Detroit.[28]

This book is the first major sociological study to document the experiences of men who pay for sex. Samples of 'punters' have been difficult to obtain in the past since paying for sex is a socially discrediting activity about which men are, understandably, very secretive. The authors base their study on a sample drawn from more than 5000 'reviews' of adult personal services posted by men on the internet. Not only has this provided a significant new source of data on an important and underinvestigated social issue, but the authors argue it represents a significant change in the social organisation of sex work and those who seek and use the services of sex workers.

It seems that putting spies out to pasture is one thing. But ridding them of their lust for action is another. While most of the retired agents in Red attempt to adapt to civilian life, it is often an unsuccessful struggle. Still Frank Moses (Bruce Willis) tries. He's even fallen in love with a mousy cubicle worker in the agency's payroll department. And each month when his paycheck from the U.S. Government arrives in his mailbox, he calls into the office with a complaint as an excuse to talk to Sarah Ross (Mary-Louise Parker).
But his transition to a normal existence is interrupted when he discovers someone has put a price on his head. Not knowing who or why, he recognizes that Sarah's life may be in danger as well because of their frequent phone calls. Though he's never met her face-to-face, he slips into her apartment, kidnaps her and then takes her on a wild road trip where they meet up with three of his former cohorts, Joe Matheson (Morgan Freeman), Marvin Boggs (John Malkovich) and Victoria (Helen Mirren).
Although these seasoned agents might be on the pension plan, they haven't lost any of their skills when it comes to killing. With a host of young CIA and FBI agents on their trail, these aging undercover operatives pull out all their tricks to avoid being shot while they track down the person who issued their death sentences. And though Frank and his friends suffer some bloody injuries during their shoot-outs, they are far more capable of hitting their targets than are the newer recruits at the agency. Most of those guys aren't so lucky and, as a result, the body count in this film is huge. Unfortunately, this violence often has a flippant feel to it, especially when these highly trained assassins make jokes about the impact of their bloody careers.
Based on the comic book Red, this film adaptation (which takes several liberties with the original story) may be disappointing to fans of the series. As well, the average age of this all-star cast makes it unlikely that most teens or even young adults will be rushing out to catch this movie. Yet older audiences (those who can stomach the violence and often unbelievable stunts pulled off by these more mature characters) might appreciate this action adventure. At least they'll see veteran actors having a great time playing characters who demand the respect their years of service deserve.

Worth a shot - revised piston may still be free. If it don't work then just buy a new one which will also come with the new revised piston.
Might just buy an OE one to ensure its leak free. This 007p has been on the car since I bought it in 2008 so it's seen some action.
(must refrain from mum joke!) If anything having a stiffer spring reduces the time and amoumt the dv is open, reducing the amount of air you can dump. It has no relation to boost because it acts in the same direction to it. spring holds piston closed, as does boost.
I think the spring differences have been covered a fair few times and yet nobody seems to still understand the reasons for changing them! My car feels very on/off and the part throttle motorway cruising is a bit of a pain and requires some practice. I can only put this down to the blue spring on the DV. On the other hand, i'm dubious about changing it as it was mapped with it in and there must have been a reason for it...
Good luck with the freebie....few of my mates who have asked for the re-designed piston have been re-directed to the service kit for about £15...thankfully I managed to get a free one when Reesy posted it up on his thread
Bin it off for an OE Westy, it's always worth having a spare anyway. If you get on with the OE you can sell the 007p to an unsuspecting scenester on eBay.
The service kit is £15 and the spring is £12 and I'm fed up of paying forge money. I only serviced the thing just before it got mapped in November. Thought I'd give the OEM one a go.
Could you post a pic up of the OEM one you get please?....I've heard that there is a slightly different design to it now. I've got 2 at home and 1 in the car lol Shows how much faith I have with Forge now! haha
I have a bit of a collection going on.... I still have a Split-R and run a 007P on the car at the moment- over £200 worth of DV's with just those two!!! I wonder if Forge will take them both off my hands as an exchange for some new shiny blue silicone boost hoses lol
New OEM valve fitted. Smooth as silk! No more jerky part throttle. I did however have 2 engine codes before I went for a spin which must have cropped up last week on my way back from Silverstone. First was about an intermittent cam shaft sensor issue which I've had before. And the second was for an intermittent open circuit on injector 4 which is a bit more of a worry. Cleared the faults and they haven't come back.... yet!
I know, that's why whenever I do drive it something seems to crop up. There could be a cloud of smoke pouring out the back of it and the girlfriend wouldn't even notice...
Be interesting to see just how long an OEM valve lasts at 21psi as not many people ever seem to order up a new one when their original dies.
Anyone recommend a way to shift serious brake dust! Been attacking this for an hour with wonder wheels and getting there slowly but is there an easier way?
Can I get that in halfords or is it an online jobby? Spent £37 in halfords yesterday on bits to clean the car for Inters and thought I should start on my wheels today. Not doing too well do far!
Yeah they are bad Andrew. I've never cleaned them properly since I bought them 18 months ago so thought I would now. The dust is so thick! Loads of old wheel weight stickers to remove too.
Gave up with the inside. Did the best I could with wonder wheels. It came out ok on the front: Hoping to get to fit my spacers at least for a test fit today. Also got the black audi centre bore caps so I can ditch the manky plastic TT wheel centre caps that the paint is flaking off.
Can anyone tell me why 3 of my wheels look like this in the centre: Yet one looks like this: All are genuine with the same part number and offset
That's what I was thinking. Bit annoying as I have an odd wheel now. I'll check with our resident VW parts man tomorrow to see if he can work it out.
Thought I should do the wheels to save me time in 2 weeks. Good job too as it took me ages to clean them. As there were off, thought I'd fit spacers and centre caps. Can you check the system tomorrow mate to see if the TT wheel design was changed at some point?
Got no way of checking. If there's a supersession on the screen then its clear they've changed something along the way but won't ever know what they changed.
Yeah that was the number. Very strange I have a different wheel. I thought it must have been a rep at first.
I'd have assumed rep too mate! definitely all Ronal stamped? I'm sure mine are all like the 3 of yours. so strange!
Yep, Ronal stamp, Audi stamp, part number stamp, all the same on the rear of the spokes as the other 3 wheels. When te OE centre caps are fitted it covers this bit up but I decided I wanted a change.
Finally got round to removing the smic cross member: Weighed in at just under 4kgs! I'm going to weigh my rear seats, spare wheel, and tool kit when I remove them on Thursday ready for Inters

Anyone seen a mod like this for the ASUS Transformer?
This could be a catch all thread for this question.
The Hardware Mod that I would like to find: A Mod to allow you to flip the connector on the keyboard/dock half of the TF, so that you could mount the tablet half with the display facing out. That way you could get the extra battery time and the other ports, including the full sized SD reader, yet still use it as a tablet. (Admittedly a heavy one.) The part that needs to be able to turn is just the actual connector part, not the whole hinge bracket that the tablet plugs into. (I think the locking mechanism and the support posts would still work with the tablet in upside down.) What I'm thinking of would be a mechanical knob that flips the connector, not a permanent change. Luck; Ken Last edited by Ken Maltby; 11-06-2011 at 06:21 PM. |

Not so much a hardware mod, but a different way of connecting...
As the bottom connector of the Transformer is the charge port, it would make sense to have two such charge cables connected at the USB 3.0 ends with a dual female connectors then the males ends would act like a tether cable that effectively connects the Transformer to the keyboard dock. A low tech umbilical cord!
It would only need that (mod) tether cable, and perhaps the connector switch on the dock (half)closed to signify a connection is made. Think of the possibilities, I would just scrap the actual cable and go with a dongle and make it wireless via wifi, BT, IR, ... Now that would be a mod!!!!!! |

but I can't picture "Power over Wireless" to take advantage of the extra battery. Still the cable idea might be neat you could even rig it so the dock would fit in the pouch for a hydration pack on a utility vest. There would be easy routing for ear/headphones and the "umbilical". Perhaps some flexible solar panels to keep the base charged? Luck; Ken Last edited by Ken Maltby; 12-15-2011 at 01:45 AM. |

Mary Bartlett is losing sleep thinking about the Legislature�s upcoming decision on banning gambling establishments known as Internet cafes and adult arcades.
�I�m scared to death,� said Bartlett, who has worked the past seven years as a cashier and cook at an adult arcade called The Vegas Experience, in south Fort Myers. �If they close us down, we�d all be out of a job. We�d all have to start looking for jobs, and after seven years I don�t know where to look.�
Bartlett is one of an estimated 125 Internet cafe and adult arcade employees who will lose their jobs in Lee and Collier counties if the Legislature outlaws the industry. The House is poised to approve the anti-gambling measure, HB 155, today and send it to the Senate. Senate President Don Gaetz, R-Niceville predicts the bill will be sent to Gov. Rick Scott before the session ends in early May.
The Legislature is going after the 1,000 strip-mall casinos in the state, with 25 in Lee and Collier, after an investigation into Allied Veterans of the World. The charity was accused of running a $290 million illegal gambling business that directed most of the proceeds into its owners' pockets.
�Will I live on if they shut me down? Yeah,� said Michael Strawbridge, who owns an Internet cafe in Cape Coral and about 50 in California. �But it�s the 5,000 people in the state who are working for $12 to $13 an hour that are going to be the ones that suffer. Look, there are no jobs here.�
Strawbridge, who owns Cyber Sweepstakes in Cape Coral, has seven employees. He would have to shut down immediately if Scott signs the bill. Strawbridge�s business sells long-distance phone cards that can be swiped at slots-like video machines.
Rep. Carlos Trujillo, R-Miami, the sponsor of the House bill, said the bill clarifies the existing law for law enforcement, as the electronic games used by the strip center businesses have always been illegal under Florida law. Trujillo�s bill redefines the loophole that the cafes and adult arcades have used in declaring their machines �games of skill� rather than games of chance, attempting to make sure that companies such as McDonald�s can continue to use giveaway games.
�How can it be illegal if my sweepstakes business is licensed, registered and bonded with the state of Florida at right this minute?� Strawbridge said. �The legislators are going to let McDonald�s and Coca-Cola run their under-the-bottle sweepstakes, but anybody who has been creative enough to use the gaming industry�s images to promote their business can�t. How ignorant is that?�
Strawbridge said his business isn�t the money-making machine the state says it is. He said his business made an $80,000 profit last year. He said he spends about $6,000 a month for food so he can feed his customers, who get free food and snacks.
�Legislators are saying I prey on the poor and elderly when every convenience store offers the state lottery,� Strawbridge said. �If you want to get rid of my business, be honest about it. The reason is because my business attracts customers who play the lottery.�
The state has estimated that $1 billion in Internet cafe proceeds have gone untaxed. The same sum played on the Florida Lottery would have resulted in $350 million more for Florida education.
Karen Kopp, who owns The Vegas Experience, hopes legislators will differentiate her arcade business with Internet cafes, which pay cash. At adult arcades, customers play to win gift cards . Customers win cards for grocery stores such as Publix or restaurants such as Olive Garden.
Kopp said she spends $20,000 a week on gift cards. Most of her customers are senior citizens. Many come in using walkers. They are attracted by the friends they make at the arcade.
�My employees will be unemployed, but more disheartening to me will be that my customers have no place to go,� Kopp said. �My customers are not bar-goers. They don�t hang out at bars. Once they run through the gamut of their local clubhouses, they have no place to go.�
Arcade customer Bobbie Capps doesn�t know why the state is throwing out the entire industry because of one bad company �Allied Veterans of the World. Allied Veterans ran more than 50 Internet cafes. Their probe already has led to 57 arrests. The investigation also resulted in Jennifer Carroll, who had consulted for Allied while in the Legislature, to resign as lieutenant governor March 12.
�The majority of these people play 8-cent spins,� Capps said. �It�s nice for the seniors to get up and out. This is not a casino. It�s like family, a second home.�

As different options present themselves to you today, you may ask yourself, "Is this right for me?" and you may notice that the answer comes to you as a physical sensation or an image. Heeding the message you get could give you the assurance you need to make the choice that is right for you.

At over 2,400 feet, Pasanau's "Finca La Planeta" dominates the regional landscape and experiences Priorat's widest daily temperature variation. This helps to retain freshness in the concentrated, late-harvested grapes, resulting in a uniquely tight-knit, albeit typically powerful Priorat style. The long, arid growing season, as elsewhere in Priorat, severely limits yields while packing the fruit with mineral extract and complexity.

The place of God's own dwelling
With all the world shut out.
Oh, holy resting place!
Oh, calm and pure retreat!
Where God unveils His face,
And life is only sweet.
Oh, sweet and tranquil home,
Where only God is known!

Built by the Son of God,
We've found a full salvation,
And entered through the blood.
Here on the mercy seat,
Beneath the cherubim,
We dwell in love complete,
And heaven's glory hymn. [Refrain]
3 We reach the cleansing laver,
The blood has been applied,
Then on the golden altar,
We're wholly sanctified.
Within the second veil,
Oh, holy! holy place!
With joyful lips we tell
The fullness of His grace. [Refrain]
4 Oh, glory be to Jesus!
I've boldly entered in
The secret of His presence,
And triumph over sin.
My soul is hid away
In God, with Jesus Christ;
And here I'll ever stay,
In sweet, eternal rest. [Refrain]

Best Cheap Dinner In An Odd Atmosphere Phoenix 2001 - Don Jose's
Thriving for several decades in a former IHOP A-frame, "The Don," as regulars affectionately refer to it, can never be accused of lacking atmosphere. Go in -- hungry, of course -- and munch thin, hot chips and admire the year-round, Mylar Christmas decorations that spin and twinkle lazily in the manufactured breeze. Vintage bullfighter portraits compete with velvet paintings and more contemporary (but equally bizarre) prints, while oldies ooze out of a radio whose dial hasn't budged in years. Check out your dining companions: lone curmudgeons, young moderns, and big families with the occasional screaming child. Order the heavenly cheese crisp, heaped with guacamole; chat with chipper waitress Tami; and ask for the green ketchup for a real visual treat. More good news: All this atmosphere comes cheap at the only sit-down restaurant where two can enjoy dinner for under $10 -- and where it's always Christmas, to boot.

It takes a real man to wear a kilt. And a real woman to charm him out of it.
Games of Love, Book 1
It might be modern times, but Kate Simmons isn't willing to live a life without at least the illusion of the perfect English romance. A proud member of the Jane Austen Regency Re-Enactment Society, Kate fulfills her passion for courtliness and high-waisted gowns in the company of a few women who share her love of all things heaving.
Then she encounters Julian Wallace, a professional Highland Games athlete who could have stepped right off the covers of her favorite novels. He's everything brooding, masculine, and, well, heaving. The perfect example of a man who knows just how to wear his high sense of honor—and his kilt.
Confronted with a beautiful woman with a tongue as sharp as his sgian dubh, Julian and his band of merry men aren't about to simply step aside and let Kate and her gaggle of tea-sippers use his land for their annual convention. Never mind that "his land" is a state park—Julian was here first, and he never backs down from a challenge.
Unless that challenge is a woman unafraid to fight for what she wants...and whose wants are suddenly the only thing he can think about.
Warning: The historical re-enactments in this story contain very little actual history. Battle chess and ninja stars may apply.
